Manufacturing Parameters for the Creation of Clinical-Grade Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Lines From Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stromal Cells.

ABSTRACT: Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are reprogrammed cells with a remarkable capacity for unlimited expansion and differentiation into various cell types. Companies worldwide are actively engaged in developing clinical-grade iPSC lines to address the needs of regenerative medicine, immunotherapies, and precision medicine. However, ensuring the safety and quality of iPSCs is essential, with adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and ethical considerations being paramount. Perinatal cell and tissue banks, such as umbilical cord (UC) blood and tissue banks, are emerging as ideal sources for generating iPSCs due to their unique characteristics and GMP compliance. These banks provide access to immature cells with limited environmental exposure, known family and medical histories of
